So I Actually Have Created A Small And Simple Timeline For My Arslan AU. ( I Am Actually Writing A New

So I actually have created a small and simple timeline for my Arslan AU. ( I am actually writing a new chapter for the story and yes I am really, really slow). The Timeline is not fully complete, for example the year where Narsus became Lord of Daylam missed and I am not really sure with every canon data. So they will mixed up a bit with my AU and the canon data. A big thanks @tired-reader-writerfor the help to collect some year numbers and canon events.

In the timeline are some events from my AU that are a bit of a spoiler and I hope I can dissolve them with the new chapter I actually write. Hopefully I can posted it in a few days xD.

Arslan again! he is so cute 

I like the idea with the ponytail. This suits him. And also I like that you give hin his significant hairband and the strands, that are falling i to his face.

And the smile is just Gieve

Already working on Gieve's design sheet!

I'd been contemplating giving him a ponytail and I'm quite pleased w how this turned out.

The translation is now out on mangasee123!

Kharlan's castle, in the anime (Episode 3) and the manga (Chapter 4).

It can be seen from where Daryun and Arslan have stopped so that Arslan can wash his face in the river and the horses can have a drink. At that time, Daryun casts a glance in its direction.

(Narsus realising that Daryun did this deliberately to involve him, lol)

I was mainly posting these images because I'm just 👀 at getting a glimpse of Kharlan's lands, but it does also raise some questions. In using the road that passed by the castle, Daryun and Arslan were spotted and Kharlan's men come calling the next morning. But who was it that saw them, and who gave the order to go and investigate Narsus's house? I can't believe I never thought about this before sdfhfgnhg

We can assume Zandeh was in the castle at the time, since he didn't participate in the Battle of Atropatene and later states that he's travelled from his family's lands to serve Hilmes after Kharlan's death. So, he could have been left in charge.

But actually, the evidence suggests that Kharlan himself returned to the castle after the battle, and he was the one who sent out his men. They do, after all, extend this offer:

That sounds like it's come straight from Kharlan himself.

(Incidentally, these men are probably Kharlan's own troops, who are attached to his lands, and so I guess they did not fight at Atropatene?)

Anyway this is all well and good but if Kharlan did in fact return to his castle after shit went down on the nearby plains, that TOTALLY FUCKS WITH SOME SCENES IN THE FIC I AM WRITING. (Well, since it's not confirmed one way or the other, there's ways around it, I could just go with him sending a messenger to the troops he held there in reserve, but ah, I don't know.)

(If he did return to his castle, he can't have stayed there long... but if he did... that was likely the last time Zandeh saw his father.)

Gieve's sheet is stumping me currently so I'm winding down by thinking about Narsus and Shapur's potential dynamic instead...

For real though, the moment Narsus realizes this uptight can't-lie-for-shit strict man has been pulling a con on the entire country for like a decade he's gonna be indescribably gleeful.

Yeah, honestly Narsus is going to be delighted! And now he knows that Shapur will be a great support for his long-held ideal. I love to see it. I always felt like Narsus would have had respect for Shapur but found it hard to imagine them ever being close / friendly on a personal level, but maybe their dynamic will wind up being something closer to friendship in this AU?
